Microsoft demos Vista & Office 07 on a Macbook Pro

[evoWalo]

You did ask whats the diff between the Mac & PC. Never specified if it's pro or consumer.

You could have a Mac as cheaply as $599. Apple doesnt sell $5000 machines. Top end's $2999.

I know I have gender issues at the moment but I'm glad I dont have orientation issues. You perv!

So youpay $5000 for builtin software? Yeah - thats clever, ellen... you get a bong with that upgarde? And why don't you post nekkid pics of yourself..

They both do pretty much the same thing, but the Dyson looks better, and has that new "ball" base to make it easier to move around. Still, the Hoover is far cheaper, and will still suck up dirt like it should do. Dyson = Mac, Hoover = PC. Personally, I would go Dyson. Not for the Looks, but because of the ball. Same reason I would rather go Mac. Because the OS and the hardware work beautifully together, not because it looks beautiful. Naa...Dysons SUCK but my VAX SUCKS better

Hey. Vax uses the tech that Dyson introduced. But without the rollerball base.

Wouldn't that mean:

Hoover = PC
Dyson = Mac
Vax = Linux



This is getting silly...

RC45: I would love to take up that challenge, unfortunately, I really don't have the time to do it (nor the hardware actually), but as soon I am able to, I'll be more than happy to find out.

Not to prove anyone wrong. Just to let the damn argument rest.

There's just as many 'pooftas' in the PC crowd as the Mac crowd, get over it.

Sure I and I cant stand them.

Am I trying to say there is no pooftas in the PC community? No.

I am not trying to prove anything.

Personaly couldnt care less.

Let 80% of the PC crowd be pooftas. Do I care? I dont give a fuck.


Its just the mac poofta crowd that gets so offended.

And about the memory managment.

I was making a site on a mac once. It was flash based, and fuck was it a pain in the ass to multitask. I had 3 programs running, photoshop, dreamweaver and flash pro.

I had crashes all the time, all memory related because it had a hard time allocating memory each program.

And sometimes when I needed to run a fourth program it would just tell me "cant open not enough memory" or something along those lines.

Sorry but that just doesnt cut it. Any PC even win95 will run as much programs as you open, it will smoke and cough and barely manage not to crash but it will do what I tell it to.

And when I need to open something else to edit an image then import to flash then dreamweaver, and I must go back and close a program or two, resave all my projects so I can open another program and use it for a 1 min job then fuck it.

No it wasnt a top of the line mac.

But sorry, if I need a 4 grand top of the line mac to do some not so very complicated website work then why the hell would I want a mac?

What I ended up doing was ditching all that and moving to a win2000 PC of some mediocre spec and getting more work done more quickly.

sounds like you're using a mac more than half a decade old.

ACtually I have seen macs in the last 2 years behave the same way.

They are nothing special - period.

If they were, there would be many millions more of them sold.

Performance talks, bullshit walks.

That's different. But if the guy could afford 1 supercar, I sure as hell wouldn't buy a Veyron.

The oldest mac i used was of 2001 spec.

I think that was when I started getting in with the Titanium PowerBooks and such.

and that is when i was severely turned off of macintoch

[evoWalo]

i'm not surprised that you've seen macs that behave that way seeming all macs produced since the beginning have a reputation of working way longer than expected. Why else would macs made in the 70s/80s be able to properly process the year 2000?

Money talks, so people buy PCs cause they have more choices for cheap.

OS 9 was prevailent way back then. That OS stunk worse than 98 but the apps were great. iMovie's so much better than Premier if you want to do simple NLE that looked great. No more need to fiddle around with analogue sources since firewire was standard on all macs.

I remember someone dishing the top end PowerMac G5 Quad for having a gay video card. If you're a gamer, yeah it stunk seeming very few games are CPU-dependent but this is the only mainstream desktop that has 2 dual core 64bit processors. So you could run Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro & Compressor with each of them having a dedicated core.

Enter Woodcrest (Core Xeon) that will probably be the chip of choice to be the next dual dual-core CPUs for the pro-line of Macs. I'm guessing it'll have another gay graphics card but these computers arent toys.

We have a slew of old PC's, each that function correctly today without changing the time coding. Also, i have some Solaris Sparc stations that all work flawlessly as well. So... then what say you?

[evoWalo]

functions correctly but reports a weird date or are they late 90s/early 00's "old"?

for what you're paying for your Solarium I'd expect them to work flawlessly as well. Too bad your documents will not work on 98.71878215% of the desktop market.

1982 - early 90's pre windows even pre-IBM pc.

the Solaris documents do work on PC's

and who said i paid anything for them
